It sounds like your PC cannot find your HD, remove & reseat your HD IDE cable, then give it a whirl.

I am assuming that you have an OS on your HD.....Yep it looks like you have!!

OS = Operating System!

Have you tried reseating the IDE cable to your hard drive yet?

It's asking for the CD because it cannot find the hard drive.

Don't really know how else to put it!

go into your bios settings and change the hardware that first boots to your hard drive.
